15/XII.

Comrade Krasnoshchekova! I am sending my corrections.

I am very unwell and therefore ask you to forgive me: I have read through things in great haste and am writing in a rush. Let Mrs. Beatty* forgive me as well—also for the postponement of our meeting for the photograph 132.

With comradely greetings,
Lenin
